Almost yell at rude neighbour's kids..... to stop annoying the sh** out of me.

I just moved to the US 3 years ago. Back where I come from, kids do not knock on their neighbour's door every f-ing day.

I'm having trouble trying to keep them out of my front yard. I don't want to be rude to them because they are kids and I feel it's the responsibility of their parents to make sure their kids have manners. I am not the confrontial type of person. I try to be nice to everyone but once someone pisses me off, I will tell them off. My husband said I can sound rude when I confront people. So usually, I let my husband deals with rude pple.

I lived in boston for 2 years before moving to this neighborhood. Here, there are 2 kids who are always playing outside every evening. They know we have a small dog and I am okay with them playing with our dog. But it has to be on our terms. When I said, we are busy, they left and came back every 15 mins knocking (very very loud) on our door. They will knock until we open our door.
Sometimes we leave the doors open while we r cleaning the house because I dont feel good inhaling those cleaning chemicals. They keep on bothering us to play with our dog. And they dont stop. So I try to be nice and said they can pet the dog in our house. They go into the house and start touching every single thing in our house and make a mess.

Today, they knocked on our doors very hard and nonstop till i opened the door. I told them I'm having a phone call and pls stop knocking and then i closed the door shut. Guess what? They knocked even harder thinking it is funny. Then, they use rocks to knock on our doors. I swear to god, I felt like telling them to keep the f off our property and stop bothering us from now. It will be nice if their parents teach them right but the parents don't seem to be the type that care what they do and they are barely home.

Isn't that considered 'declaring war' on the neighbors? Lol. I really don't mind them knocking but they have to stop if we don't answer cos we are busy doing sth else.

Even if you don't mind the knocking you should have them stop. They clearly have no boundaries so god knows what they will do next. And it's not declaring war on them as long as you speak with the parents in a non confrontational way like adults.

Talk to them nicely and hopefully they'll have a talk with their kids. I wouldn't tolerate anyone knocking on my door with rocks just to be funny. What's gonna happen when your baby is here and they disturb baby's sleep by constantly knocking?
